Exploring Creation With Botany -- Young Explorer Series (Young Explorer (Apologia Educational Ministries))

Explore God's creation with this course designed for grades K-6. This creation-based science program covers the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction process, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant. As young students study these topics, they will also learn about many different kinds of plants and where they belong in the plant classification system. Projects in the book use easy-to- find household items. Activities include making a "light hut" in which to grow plants, dissection of a bean seed, growing seeds in plastic bags to observe the germination process, making a leaf skeleton, observing how plants grow towards light, measuring transpiration, forcing bulbs to grow out of season, and making pine cones open and close.
